I’ve been saying for a while that I wish I had an extra day to get some proper housework done. With the civic holiday upon us, I made sure to not let this opportunity slip through my fingertips. I don’t think I completed everything that needed to get done, but I did get a fair amount out of the way. Perhaps this is of the few times you’ll read me writing this, but I am ridiculously happy that I got around to mopping the kitchen, living room, and bathroom properly. The floors look great again. Also, seeing as how I don’t use all four sides of the dining room table all that often, I’ve pushed it off to the side. I took two of the chairs and put them up to the breakfast bar. The result is that there’s a larger amount of open flooring now. It’s making my living room look a lot bigger. I could almost be fooled into believing that I could fit another cushy living room chair in here.
Things are almost orderly, and it feels good. God knows why it’s not in this state more often, you know? There are still some areas of this place that need some reconsideration. There’s an ugly computer desk in the corner of the living room that’s just being used to hold small books and random junk. I really want to dump that thing and put a big potted plant there. There’s a stack of boxes in my bedroom occupying a space that could take a shelf or stand of some sort. And Jesus, after all this time, I really need to get my dishwasher hooked up. All it’s doing is just sitting there looking pretty. Crazy, eh?
Anyway, maybe it doesn’t seem like it at times, but I do take pride in my living space. I worked hard to get to this point. I need to make sure things are presentable–not just for other people, but for myself.
